Per Schiller,
the father of the breed, showed two of his dogs at the first Swedish dog
show in 1886. These two hounds, "Ralla I" and "Tamb-urini,"
became the pillars of the breed. The Swedish registering body did not
recognize the breed, however, until 1952.
Of only moderate
size, he is strongly boned and sturdily made. He carries no exaggeration
in earage, skin or head. His square body contains tremendous power,
and he is noted for his speed. The Swedish KC booklet says he is the fastest
of all the Scandinavian hounds. He is self-colored tan with the black
saddle or mantle and no white.
These dogs are
particularly useful in hunting snow hare, as they seem to be immune to
the cold suffered during long hunts in deep snows.
